Begin the lesson by introducing the concept of landforms with a brief discussion about the diverse landscapes on Earth. Use engaging questions like 'Have you ever seen a mountain or a valley?' to capture students' interest.

Explain the different types of landforms such as mountains, hills, valleys, and plains. Discuss how these landforms are shaped by natural processes like erosion and tectonic movements.

Use the video 'Earth's Landforms – Mountains' to illustrate the formation of mountains through tectonic activity and volcanic eruptions. This video helps students visualize and understand the geological processes involved.

Watch the video 'The Grand Canyon' to explore how the Colorado River has shaped this vast landscape over millions of years. This video supports understanding by showcasing the power of water erosion.

Discuss with students how different landforms can be identified and described. Encourage them to think about the landforms they have seen in their local environment.

Engage students in a hands-on activity by having them create models of different landforms using clay or other materials. This activity helps reinforce their understanding of the physical characteristics of landforms.

Use the 'Modeling Land and Water' assessment to have students create a model using materials like modeling clay, sticks, stones, and water. This activity assesses understanding by having students draw and label their model.

Assign students to explore their surroundings and identify different landforms. They can take notes or draw sketches of what they observe.

Have students complete the 'Earth’s Landforms' assessment to reinforce their understanding of various landforms through activities like labeling diagrams and describing images.

Conduct a class discussion to review the different landforms and the processes that shape them. Ask students to share their observations and findings from their independent practice.

Have students reflect on what they have learned about Earth's landforms and write a short paragraph describing their favorite landform and why.

Use the 'Review – Earth’s Land and Water' assessment to test students' comprehension of the unit. This assessment helps evaluate their understanding of landforms and water bodies.

Encourage students to explore further by researching a specific landform and presenting their findings to the class. This extension activity promotes deeper learning and presentation skills.
